Thanks, George. At least I am not alone! It would not be so bad if the machine with Office 2003 on it was networked to this one - but I actually have to transfer the files using a memory stick! What baffles me is that whatever you do to the 3 buttons in the View tab of the ribbon nothing seems to change. could be hal I suppose- I will try downloading a demo of Window-eyes and see if I get on any better with it in that particular situation. Of course, as you probably know, Microsoft left a lot of the old key sequences in 2007 despite the absence of menus. For instance I always use alt F and A to get the Save as dialogue. I tried to see if alt, V and N would change to the normal view, but no luck! Douglas .
